"Based on the novel by legendary pulp writer Jim Thompson, The Killer Inside Me tells the story of handsome, charming, unassuming small-town deputy sheriff Lou Ford, who has a bunch of problems. Women problems. Law-enforcement problems. And an ever-growing pile of murder victims in his west Texas jurisdiction. All the while Lou manages to remain his stoic self. However, as evidence is discovered over the course of the investigation, suspicion begins to fall on Lou. But in this savage and bleak universe, nothing is ever what it seems.
In this film, Michael Winterbottom continues to show his immense prowess as a director. Pushing noir to its darkest extreme, he has fashioned a star vehicle for Casey Affleck, who delivers a powerful performance that resonates with a quiet ferocity that evokes shades of Robert Mitchum. This violent, stylish psychosexual thriller is imbued with all the amoral energy of its genre and is sure to shock some and dazzle all." - Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Michael Winterbottom. Screenplay by John Curran based on the novel by Jim Thompson. With Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Ned Beatty, Elias Koteas, Tom Bower, Simon Baker, Bill Pullman, Brent Briscoe & Matthew Maher. Rated R for disturbing brutal violence, aberrant sexual content and some graphic nudity. 2009, USA Running time: 109 mins.
"The Killer Inside Me may be the darkest film noir ever made." - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"It's a scorcher." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"It's a psychologically haunting portrait of an extreme personality". - Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Winterbottom captures the atmosphere of a dusty community where everyone knows everybody’s history, and where money and power can only sway public opinion to a point." - Noel Murray, The AV Club
